More NHL Pools

Latest Member CommentIt is possible I jinxed them last week. We lost all four of One Fish, scotty, sparky and szuram in a brutal night for predicting hockey outcomes. I am going to declare them the winners of this pool, since BenjaminBelcour and Sievers were late to the party, and we'll take a break then open up a new NHL survivor pool in the New Year.— Mike on 2018-12-09 09:31:22

Rules Summary

Starting the first week of your pool, you have to pick one team that will
win its game straight up (no point spreads) including overtime and shootout results.

If the team you picked loses, then you receive a strike. Once you collect three strikes, then you are eliminated
from the pool.

You cannot pick the same team twice during the length of this pool.

Picks are submitted once a week. Only games played on Saturdays are included in the pool.

The last person in the pool still alive after all others have been eliminated, the survivor,
is the winner.

The pool will continue as long as there are entries still alive or until the pool's final week,
whichever comes first.

In weeks with games scheduled earlier than the above deadlines, these games can be selected
but picks must be submitted before puck drop of that game. This deadline applies to all remaining
games for the week.

These deadlines will be strictly enforced! There will be no exceptions for picks not being submitted on
time.

Default Pick

If no pick is submitted prior to the deadline, then a default pick will be
assigned a maximum of once per entry for the length of the pool. If an entry already used a default pick in a previous week, then
no pick is assigned and the entry takes a wrong pick for that week.

The default pick will be the team listed first alphabetically based on city then team name,
not already used previously, amongst all teams playing on or after the deadline.

Alternate Pick Submission

If you are having difficulty submitting your pick online, then send the
pick by email to mike@myofficepool.ca. Make sure to clearly state
the name of the pool, your username, entry number, week of the pool and pick. The email must be received time
stamped prior to the deadline and from the email account associated with your username.

We take no responsibility for email being delayed past the deadline or not
being delivered. Everyone should use the online system to make their picks and only send an email in the
case of an emergency.

Multiple Winners

If more than one entry is still alive at the end of the pool, then
those alive entries are all considered equal winning entries.

Mass Knockout Rule

If more than five entries are all eliminated in the same week and these
eliminations would result in the conclusion of the pool, because there are no more alive entries, then these
entries will be considered still alive and play on if there are available weeks remaining in the pool.

If five or fewer entries are all eliminated in the same week and these eliminations result in the conclusion
of the pool, then those entries are all considered equal winning entries.
